How about adding a poll to this post?

Another color poll, I'll go get some popcorn!

I bought a new 750 K2 way back when - I wanted the Valley Mist Green - couldn't wait for it to arrive on the boat (I'm in Australia) so I settled on the gold. Loved the bike and the color grew on me. Now at age 58 I've just about finished restoring a K2. It was silver when I bought it and a real roughy but all there including original owners manual under the seat. I decided I'd now have the Valley Mist Green I wanted way back then so painted it that color. With custom 4 into 4 pipes in flat black, it looks sensational. Valley Mist Green for me! Slug

I'm sure he asked what is MY favorite color. Still candy blue green. although I can see where someone would like sunflake orange or planet Blue. Or that plum color, or the metallic brown jeez that's pretty. I saw a black K0, too that was nice I'm thinking it was Japanese domestic. Or antares red.

I swear I had a big CB750 poster on my bedroom wall in 1970 that was a 'Candy Ruby Red' bike... does that color exist on a SOHC4 ?
